I want to know if wave length or frequency will change when a wave move from a string of a certain linear density to another of a different linear density?
When a wave moves from one string to another, the amplitude of the wave remains constant. This means that the height or intensity of the wave does not change.
The frequency of the wave remains constant when it moves from one string to another. This means that the number of waves passing through a point in a given time period does not change.
The speed of the wave may change when it moves from one string to another, depending on the properties of the two strings. If the strings have different densities or tensions, the speed of the wave may change.
The wavelength of the wave may change when it moves from one string to another, again depending on the properties of the two strings. If the strings have different densities or tensions, the wavelength of the wave may change.
The direction of the wave does not change when it moves from one string to another. The wave will continue to move in the same direction as it did on the first string.
